The Ukrainian in a tense rivalry did not overcome the resistance of the Argentine tennis player.
Alexei Krutykh’s Australian fairy tale didn’t last long. Recall that the Ukrainian tennis player for the first time took part in the qualification for the Grand Slam tournament. He won it and advanced to the main round of the Australian Open.
However, the blind lot was cruel to him and gave him the 26th racket of the world – the Argentinean Diego Schwartzman – in the first round.
It should be noted that our athlete gave the opponent a real fight, clinging to the duel for every point. As a result, the match dragged on for almost four hours, but Krutykh lost in four sets. 6:4, 6:7, 6:3, 7:6 – in favor of the Argentine.
In three hours and 57 minutes spent on court, the Ukrainian served nine aces, committed three double faults, and 38 unforced.
Australian Open. First round. Man
Diego Schwartzman (Argentina) – Alexey Krutykh (Ukraine) – 6:4, 6:7, 6:3, 7:6
